The alternatives often seem to be manual work with low salary expectations, lack of opportunities with new cloud jobs (better paid), promotion to a management position or emigration to countries with a different economic model (where technical jobs are better valued). This does not scale either. Freelancing worldwide is not for everyone either. -*"One of the biggest problems in IT is that we keep reinventing the wheel.

You will find solutions and knowledge in a practical and efficient way without being totally essential to obtain a certification to successfully complete the task. For example, if there's money for [reinventing the wheel](https://www.reddit.com/r/ExperiencedDevs/comments/pw6vuv/promotion_driven_development/) on day 1, then there's money for investing in these high value added solutions on day 2 where automation can significantly improve our lives and the quality of the delivered service. **Automation is also a key element when evaluating the delivery of a service.**
